Careers

Transport graduates find employment with transport operators, consultancies, local and central governments in various countries, and in supranational organisations. Many graduates are employed by companies involved in the manufacture of instrumentation, and in companies specialising in software and other services for the engineering industry.

Employability

Successful completion of this MSc meets the academic requirements for corporate membership of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport. The programme is accredited by the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation. The programme is also accredited by the Institution of Civil Engineers as meeting the regulations of the Engineering Council's scheme for enabling graduates without an accredited Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering to be considered for corporate membership and registration.

Why study this degree at UCL?

The Centre for Transport Studies is an energetic and exciting environment. Students benefit from engaging with the teaching staff who are actively involved in internationally leading research, and advising local, national and international transport agencies.

Both colleges are located in the centre of one of the world's most exciting cities, near to relevant professional institutions and transport agencies. London provides a living laboratory in which students can observe many of the problems that they are studying, analyse the success or failure of current approaches to design, and operate and manage them.
